Things are heating up.....

5:47 am - Saturday - May 3rd - LPG&RVR - 40° F, humidity 80%, wind 1 mph out of the south by southeast......partly cloudy today with rain in the forecast this afternoon, and a high of 61° F.  On this date in 2018 TLE and I were visiting Niagra Falls, NY....


.....doing the 'Maid of the Mist' boat tour....you really do get quite wet, and without those rain jackets they provide, you would be soaked to the skin.

Day two of our four day work week began with clear skies, and remained that way until early afternoon when clouds began to roll into the Pit River Valley in advance of a storm forecast for Saturday.  I staged 9 golf carts initially, and we ended up renting 13 in all.  With David helping catch up on the mowing I was able to focus on other things like taking the CART signs out to the golf course....these signs are placed about 20 yards out from each hole pointing golfers to the location of the next connecting cart path.  I took Claude with me, and we had a great time.....


.....it is really nice to be able to spend the Summer with one of my best friends of the last 40 years.  After returning to the Clubhouse area I went up to the small gazebo to retrieve the three 55 gallon barrels I had filled with hoses last Fall before our departure for Arizona in order to redistribute them around the RV park.  All the while David was mowing around the 'Night Office', all 10 tent sites, the 5 employee sites, and many of the back in Meadows sites....what a great worker!  On Saturday I'll give him a brief tutorial on the operation of our Stihl string trimmers.

By the time I finished with the hose distribution it was almost 12 pm, so I headed back to the Clubhouse to give TLE her lunch break.  On this day I decided not to take a lunch break of my own so I could be off work at 3:30 pm.  

After TLE returned from lunch I began to pull out more golf carts (the older ones) to get them washed, and re-parked in the cart shelter.  That took most of the remainder of my shift, and by 3:30 pm I was heading for the Newell to enjoy a snack, and a nap before returning to the Clubhouse at 5 pm to retrieve TLE.  Friday was a good day with lots accomplished.  Claude is enjoying his role as 'Course Marshal', and I am enjoying not being spread so thin as I was last year.  The park is looking great, and the customers are arriving for Veteran's Day Weekend....things are heating up.... at least in a figurative sense....lol!

Thanks for stopping by!
